Second Session (usually Thursday)
Warm up for 15 minutes with a range of movement drills and gradual increase in speed till you are at around 85% of top speed and are ready to go, say high knees, carioca, marching drills. You know what to do.

Do the power weights program immediately after the sprint sessions, or you can integrate them into the speed session by doing a block (1A + 1B) after a speed drill, so that you are going in and out of the gym, as listed in the example programs. We have had good effect doing this as neural stimulation method.
